a) The land which supplies water to a "river system" is called a <u>watershed.
</u>
b) Pollution from a single, identifiable source is called <u>point source pollution</u>.

</u>
<u>Explanation:</u>
- A watershed serves as a feeder to the rivers in a particular river system.
- When a certain type of pollution has a single point of origin, it is called 'point' source pollution.
- When a certain type of pollution "cannot be traced back" to a single origin and is recognized to have multiple sources, it is known as 'non-point' source pollution.
New Zealand has a largely temperate climate. While the far north has subtropical weather during summer, and inland alpine areas of the South Island can be as cold as - 10°C in winter, most of the country lies close to the coast, which means mild temperatures, moderate rainfall, and abundant sunshine.
